Auchentoshan Dark Oak Lowland Single Malt [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a Lowland single malt that breaks all the traditional rules with its unique triple distillation process?

Auchentoshan Dark Oak represents everything exceptional about Scottish innovation, delivering the smoothness that only triple distillation can achieve. While most Scottish distilleries stick to double distillation, this Lowland single malt takes an extra step that creates an incredibly refined character. The complex maturation across American bourbon, Spanish Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks produces layers of flavor that rival expressions like Benromach 10 Years and Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt.

• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a splash of water to open the sherry influence
